But it is how OG Wrath worked. OG Wrath pivoted from both Vanilla and TBC in that Blizzard’s stated intention was to keep damage dealers (Pure and Hybrid) within 5% of each other. They also spread utility and buffs around a lot more to compensate for more comparable damage.
I don’t care if I’m last on the DPS Meters. It’s the fact that if everyone is playing properly, Ret is not only last on the meters, but last by 20% to 50%. It’s just how much farther we are down that’s frustrating.
It’s a contrived situation that never existed in original WOTLK. If Warriors get nerfed in ICC after being garbage for the first 3 raids I guarantee you and every other warrior will be screaming bloody murder.
Not sure what you mean. If you mean waiting till toc to kill hardmode xt on 25 player mode. Then you’re nuts. No guild was gonna average 8.2k DPS average from every raider over 6 minutes. Not in ulduar gear .
No… But how about we wait… I dunno… longer than 2 weeks after the raid is released.
With the Ilvl boost and the general increase in player skill this isn’t OG wrath.
Cool irrelevant story
Literally all of classic has worked this way. We have had 3 years to know that if and when WOTLK came (a lot of assumed it would when classic was announced) that it would be on the last patch of balance.
It.
Was.
Known.
This isn’t a skill issue. Are you braindead? Xt has like 2 mechanics. It’s a gear check that was way overtuned. Please just stop posting.
I know there’s a thread or two on this, but don’t feel like it’s that hot of a topic. My guess is Blizzard saw the clear metrics for it and figured it wasn’t worth keeping around.
But accurate
I mean… are you???
Show me where I said it’s a skill issue. Or have someone read out the posts to you and get back to me since I’m guessing reading isn’t your strong suit
The best of the best guilds were hitting enrage at 40%. That’s a necessary 66% DPS increase. No amount of gear this phase (or perhaps even the next) is providing a 66% raid DPS increase.
People get upset when their preferred specialization receives a “nerf”?
More news at 11.
You wanna try that again? They’re literally doing it already. 2 weeks in. With a minimal amount of HM gear.
Color me surprised you have no idea what you’re talking about
I’m not saying never nerf XT. I’m saying nerfing hardmodes 2 weeks after release is ridiculous.
Not my spec, or even my class. I can just see further than my own nose.
Yeah the patch we were going to be on was known. Want to know what wasn’t in line (or known) with OG WotLK?
–Early gear speed kills of 3D-resulted in boss health and damage buff before release)
–Warrior getting huge crits with deep wounds and fiery weapon enchant-resulted in changing firery to not contribute to deep wounds
–Uncapped hast on DK gargs -resulted in changes gargs to dynamically update
–Druids being able to equip classic tier and spam tranq on general vezax-Change coming I’m sure
–Using spider bots on hard mode freya to kill through her healing buff-change coming I’m sure
There’s more memes than this too. It wasn’t known how poorly ret would do with this balancing because it was never a situation that existed until now.
No one asked. Ret paladins should have known better is my point and to act like the surprised pikachu at the dps charts is no ones fault but their own.
If a boss is unkillable by the best, most prepared groups in the world at the end of week 2 due to numbers tuning, 99% of groups will never kill the boss, even with near bis gear.
Why is it ridiculous when no one would be able to kill it 10 weeks from now 15 weeks from now. Your argument is pathetic. Keep posting I guess try to get to 10k posts.
Quoted for emphasis for the muppets in the back.
The best of the best weren’t just barely not killing it … they weren’t even coming close.
They were needing at least 50% more DPS, it was flat out impossible.
With how XT-002 was tuned it wouldn’t be possible till ToC.
Ok cool. .5% of guilds have killed Algalon so far. And that’s a progression boss. XT HM is an entirely unnecessary optional encounter. Not everything needs to be killable by everyone.
I’m sorry youre upset. I’m sure you’ll heal… with time
